bigredxlt Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 What is your all around favorite go to crank? Which crank do you usually start with or fall back on when other techniques arent working? Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Last year was Storm Big Bass square bill texas craw color for shallow water and Normans D22 for deep. This year i will probably still throw those but i'm also going to try the Strike King 4s square bill for shallow and Strike King 6xd for deep. For some reason those SK's have really caught my eye, i sure hope they catch the fishes too!! ;D ;D Quote
bigbassctchr101 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 2-25ft of water is a DD22 in FIRETIGER! Quote
Gangley Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Cranks are one lure that I really dont have a Go-To because they are so much different across the board. For right now, my crank of choice is a Rattle Trap, but once spring is over that will change. Quote
central.PA.bass Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 early on.. i really like my shallow diving Storm WIggle Wart in Bluegill color... Another one is as old shad rap with the weird bill Quote
Vinny Chase Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Depending on where the fish are located, either a deep little N or dd22 in Chart. Blue Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted March 17, 2011 Super User Posted March 17, 2011 Don't have a go-to for shallow - but for mid-depths it's the Wiggle Wart, deeper it's the Luhr-Jensen Hot Lips Express. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted March 17, 2011 Super User Posted March 17, 2011 Lucky Craft FlatCB MR or Fat Rap in Black/silver Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted March 17, 2011 Super User Posted March 17, 2011 dont shoot the messenger..... red eye shad! Quote
CSimon2 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I am cheap and do not buy the expensive baits. Chances are I am going to lose them one way or another anyway. I do like the BPS Lazer Eye Nitro Extreme The Egg in chrome shad. It is a shallow running crankbait and seems to really work great for me. Quote
EastTexasBassin Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 My best producers are the Norman Middle N (pearl w/ purple flake) and Strike King Series 3 & 4 (Sexy Shad) Quote
bassman31783 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 DD22 for me as well. Just a fantastic crank. It always seems to produce for me. I also really like the H2O square bill cranks. Quote
ChiCityBasser Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I do like the BPS Lazer Eye Nitro Extreme The Egg in chrome shad. It is a shallow running crankbait and seems to really work great for me. I like the Egg as well as the Strike King 1XS shallow diving cranks. These were my most productive cranks fished over the tops of weedbeds. Quote
GrundleLove Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Like I stated in a previous, similar post, my holy grail of cranks is my hand signed Fred C Young Big-O Crank. I have never caught a bass below 3 pounds with it. Its my favorite and if I ever lost it to a tree i would cry. legit. Wait no i wouldn't, I'm on the Sheen. Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Shallow: Luhr Jensen Speed Trap Deeper: Norman Deep Little N Quote
WanderLust Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Shallow: Bandit 200 in Perch or shad Deep: Strike King series 5XD Pro Crank in Sexy Shad Quote

Tree cant stand it Quote
BassThumb Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Xcalibur XR50 in Foxy Momma or Lucky Craft RC 2 in American Shad. The Rapala DT Flat 3 is close on their heels, even though they haven't been on the market for very long. Honorable mention goes to the Cordell Super Spot with upgraded hooks. Quote
Bigbarge50 Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 This might sound ridiculous but an old school original bomber A in tenessee shad. I throw just about evevry brand, but when all else fails, that model and color seems to get one in the boat. Quote
